Juno Birch on drag bans, trans rights and why she hasn’t done Drag Race: ‘I like being the odd one out’

Exclusive: "in the 90s, they had dame edna advertising chocolate fingers, no one batted an eyelid, but now it's a all problem" the self-professed ‘alien’ drag queen is back on tour.

By Charlotte Manning

Juno Birch is having a moment. She’s back in the UK for a limited run of shows in the next few days, before heading back over to the US to do it all again on an even larger scale. 

Manchester-born and outer space-based, Juno, has promised The Juno Birch Show will be a joy, leaving no-one feeling blue.

Fans can see the deadpan drag queen expressing her delusional self love through non-stop slapstick song and dance. 

She’s bringing a collection of puppets and wild costumes along for the ride too, including puppet daughter Judith Louise, who she describes as a “horrible bitch.” Stunning, indeed. 

There’s lots to discuss, anyway. So Attitude caught up with Juno Birch ahead of her tour to chat being a theatre kid “at heart”, why Drag Race UK has still helped her career, despite not appearing, and being transgender in the UK in 2023. 

Attitude: Hey Juno! How excited are you to be on tour again in the UK?

Juno: I can’t wait. It’s a lot less shows than last year because the production is different. Instead of it being like a club show, which we did last year, it’s more theatre this time. There’s a lot more production. We decided to do less nights and bigger capacities because of the amount of props and that sort of thing. It gets a nightmare when you’re touring loads of dates!

What can fans expect from The Juno Show tour?

Juno: It’s a big step up from last year, that was a lot of lip syncing, one after the other, with a little chitchat in the middle. This is more a proper stand up comedy show with puppeteering. There’s lots of Puppets, lots of props, things like that. I’m singing as well! I’ve got dancers, it’s all a big gorgeous production. I’m so excited. A lot of people know me from the internet and YouTube, but my passion lies always on stage. That’s a comfort to be on stage. I’m at heart a bit of a theatre child, it’s just what I love doing. 

You’re off to America after this too. You’re pretty jam packed!

Juno: We go to America at the end of July, and don’t come back to mid-September – we’re on tour for a month and a bit. I don’t know how it works, I don’t really usually decide where I’m going, it’s usually up to tour producers. I knew I really wanted to go back to America as well [as the UK] because the shows always fill out over there. I’m a bit of a cartoon character over in America…

What differences do you see between US and UK audiences when you’re performing?

Juno: There is a big, big difference in drag from UK to America. UK drag was born in the pantomimes, whereas America was born in the ballrooms and the pageants; they stem from different things. It’s different in different parts of America, too. West Coast drag is completely different from East Coast drag, which I love. It’s the same in the UK, actually. The humour is different [in the US], but I’m lucky. I get away with it, because I’ve got a very British tongue. When I go over, they already know me from being stupid and telling jokes on YouTube, and know what humour to expect. Sometimes British humour won’t work over there, and vice versa, but I feel I’ve got the grasp of it. 

You’re spending a lot of time in the US this year, while a lot of horrible things are happening, such as drag bans. How does that all make you feel?

Juno: It’s definitely scary. I’m trans as well as a drag queen, so, sometimes I can’t hide it out of drag. It’s almost scary being in public. When you go on these tours, you’re almost protected, you’ve got the tour bus etc. I’m not gonna lie, it is scary. No matter how illegal they make drag, no one’s ever going to stop a drag queen from dressing up and looking glamorous. That’s all we’re doing at the end of the day.

We’re entertaining people, making people happy. No drag queen is harming anybody. It’s an absolute load of bollocks. In the 90s, they had Dame Edna advertising chocolate fingers, no one batted an eyelid, but now it’s all a problem? They think they’re clever when they say things like biology, man, woman and all that shite. Really they’re just idiots. We’re just trying to have fun, just having a laugh. This is people’s lives, you’ve got to have a laugh. 

It is scary to see a lot of that harmful rhetoric come here too . How do you feel being a trans person in the UK at the moment?

Juno: I’ve identified as a woman since I was 13 years old, and I’m now 29 years old. Only in the past, what, three years? Have I started to feel uncomfortable going into the women’s toilets. I’ve been using the female toilet since I was 13. Only recently have I started to feel a little bit uncomfortable thinking, ‘Oh, is someone gonna jump out and tell me to get out if they hear my deep voice?’ It does cross my mind, and has affected me in my day to day life. I’m privileged because I’ve got family that supports me. There’s so many other transgender people who don’t, and don’t have the access to medical care and that sort of thing. If I’m feeling like that, now, I wonder what other transgender people are feeling like? 

Generally speaking, do you feel that people are more accepting now than when you started your transition journey?

Juno: I feel like that’s why it’s so good now. When I was transitioning when I was 13, people didn’t even use the word transgender. It wasn’t even a thing that was seen on television. I didn’t know what it was. I knew how I felt, I could describe it in words, but, I didn’t know what the word was to describe it. It’s definitely more supportive now. However, because there’s more support and more pride, with that follows with more hate, because we’re more proud. We’re not embarrassed to be transgender anymore. We’re proud of our journey. So that’s why the hate comes in.

How do you feel the popularity of shows like Drag Race have changed drag in the UK in recent years? 

Obviously drag is way more popular now. Sometimes, it feels like there’s too many drag queens, we’re all fighting for work! I have to thank Drag Race in a way because I feel like if Drag Race wasn’t so popular, I probably wouldn’t have been able to build and compile the career that I do now, even though I haven’t been on Drag Race . That show is what’s made drag popular. It’s helped me even though I’ve not been on the show, but I kinda like being the odd one out! The one that’s not on Drag Race . I play around with that a lot when I’m on tour and tell jokes about it. I’m an alien. I’m an outcast, but a gorgeous one.

And finally, apart from your tour, what else are you really excited for this year, plus anything fun that’s happened in 2023 already? !

I can’t even remember what’s happened this year. My memory is awful. Glitterbomb was fabulous. I’ve done a few things that aren’t out yet. I went to America! I’ve got such a bad memory. London Pride is coming up on the first of July. I also found out that Idina Manzel is in Heaven on that night, so I need to like try and get there to see that because that has to happen.

Everything You Wanted to Know About Juno Birch

V talks with the UK-based drag artist Juno Birch on ‘60s lounge music, the Sims, and Brexit.

• Author: Sam Ford

She’s a confused alien housewife from the ‘60s with over 200,000 Instagram followers. Juno Birch, who looks like she just fell out of the sky and is trying to blend in as a human, is a drag artist with one of the most unique styles attached to her name. 

But she doesn’t stay confined to the world of Instagram. One top of Juno’s magnificently outlandish look, she has a vast collection of art including sculptures and prints that resemble some of her best moments. When she’s not sculpting, the alien queen is performing drag to her favorite, most played songs.

Find out everything you’ve always wanted to know about Juno Birch below.

V Magazine  Where do you find your inspiration for your art and your style, which with your sculptures, are typically synonymous?

Juno Birch  I was inspired by Tim Burton a lot when I was little, and I’ve been drawing since I was a toddler. But when it comes to drag or my sculptures, I’m really inspired by stereotypes or what makes something iconic. I always talk about the Sims game, I’ve played it all my life, but the Sims are actually something that inspires my work because they stereotype certain concepts to the point where they look cartoonish. For example, a burglar in the game has a stripey black and white top with the black eye mask and the beanie hat and the bag over their shoulder. That’s definitely something that’s inspired my work, like the hotdog costume, it’s something that’s iconic but you can’t really explain why it’s iconic.

V  Who are some of your favorite musicians? What’s your favorite genre?

JB  I don’t really listen to a lot of artists and bands, it’s usually one song that I’ll listen to over and over and over on repeat and then I end up performing it. But my favorite musician is Danny Elfman, he did the music for a lot of the Burton movies and his soundtracks just inspire me so much, I absolutely love him. I also love listening to elevator music and ‘60s lounge music because it’s really awkward, it has an awkward feel to it. If you have five people sitting in a room and you start playing an awkward lounge song, the scene automatically turns really funny. I love listening to it while I’m sculpting because then my sculptures get awkward too.

V  What are some things you’ve been working on lately?

JB  I’ve been working on some new merch, new t-shirts and stuff, but none of it is available yet, we’re still working on designs. I’ve been working on new sculptures as well. I’m working on one that’s going to be in a room, a ‘70s bedroom kind of thing, hopefully with a swinging chair; but I’ll see how it turns out. I’ve also recently been learning the dance from Napoleon Dynamite. 

V  What does a busy day look like for you? 

JB  My busiest days are usually filled with drag, if I’ve got a show, I’m quickly styling a wig or putting an outfit together. If I’m performing somewhere else, I’m packing a suitcase. If I’m sculpting, I’ll spend the whole day doing that. Usually, when I’m done sculpting I put the sculpture in the oven and when it’s done, I take it out and leave the oven on to stick a lasagna in.

V  What does a more relaxed day look like for you?

JB  I just isolate myself and play the Sims. It’s just a really weird game and that’s why I love it. But if I play Sims for too long, I get really guilty and feel like I should be styling a wig or making a sculpture and doing something more productive. At the moment I’m tackling that problem by starting a YouTube channel, where I want to make videos of me in drag playing Sims.

V  What was the single best thing that happened to you in 2019? 

JB  It would have to be trying oysters for the first time with Jennifer Coolidge. I went to L.A. and stayed at Trixie Mattel’s house while I did a few shows, and when I was there I met up with Jennifer and went for dinner. She is my absolute idol, if somebody said to me “If you could meet one person in the whole world, who would it be?” I would choose Jennifer Coolidge. So I went to a restaurant and ate oysters with Jennifer Cooldige and it was the most bizzare thing, but it was the highlight of my 2019. Her iconic voice is something I immediately go into when I’m on stage or I’ve had a few drinks. I’ll just all of a sudden be like “Oh, no! You look like the Fourth of July!” or “You make me want a hot dog real bad!” It just comes out, but this one time I was filming a makeup video with Trixie and she was like “Make sure you don’t do the impression too much if [Jennifer] is going to be watching!”

V  What’re you most excited for in 2020?

JB  I’m excited to perform more, all around the world. I would love to perform in more countries. I’m also excited to make more videos, because I really love making them and then editing them myself and using that little stupid Mr. Bean inspired theme where I’m just kind of walking around a park and feeding the ducks like a confused alien in a weird environment. 

V  Being based in the UK, what are your thoughts on Brexit? How do you see it affecting or not affecting your everyday life?

JB  I get really confused about Brexit. I had a problem with getting my hormones, because I’m transgender and decided to medically transition, I’ve been taking them for the past eight years or so. It’s been okay in the past couple of months, but recently when I’ve gone to the chemist they said they had problems getting the forms for the certain hormone I take or something like that. It was really complicated and confusing, but I remember someone saying it was because of Brexit. It seems to be okay now, but it was all really confusing. 

V  Do you see your style changing or evolving in the future?

JB  A lot of people, when they talk about me, assume I’m always blue. I think it’s just a memorable color but especially in the past few months, I’ve definitely been doing more natural makeup in terms of color. I’ve been matching my own natural skin color but still doing the eyeshadow, thin eyebrows, massive lips, and the glasses. I think that’s something I’ll always have, I take my glasses off a lot when I perform, but nowadays  I’m learning how to become more human and better disguise myself as a human.

I had a strange crush on Sacha Baron Cohen when I was a teen and I absolutely don’t know why.

15) What did you hate at 15 which you love now?

I wouldn’t have been caught dead in crocs at 15 and now I wear them every time I pop out for a cigarette.

11) Who was your best friend when you were 11?

When I was very young in primary school I had a friend called Tobasa and we used to sit in silence and draw. He couldn’t speak English and I was so quiet, so we used to communicate with silly drawings.
